Wondering what an EPC costs in Lambeth? We break down current 2025 prices for domestic, landlord and retrofit assessments, and explain what affects the cost.
If you own or rent out a property in Lambeth and need an Energy Performance Certificate, one of the first questions you will have is: how much does it cost? The answer depends on the type of assessment you need, the size of your property, and who you use. This guide covers current 2025 prices for Lambeth and explains what goes into the cost.

- Domestic EPC: from £65

What affects the cost of an EPC?
EPC prices vary between providers for a few reasons. The main factors are property size, property type, and the assessor's travel costs. Larger properties take longer to assess and command a higher fee. Flats and maisonettes are typically quicker to assess than detached houses, which is reflected in pricing. Some national EPC providers charge less upfront but add fees for same-day certificates or follow-up queries.
In Lambeth, most of the housing stock consists of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, purpose-built flats, and conversion maisonettes. These are generally straightforward to assess, which keeps costs competitive.
Do landlords in Lambeth need an EPC?
Yes. All privately rented properties in England must have a valid EPC rated A to E before a tenancy can begin or be renewed. Since April 2023, this applies to all existing tenancies too, not just new ones. The penalty for non-compliance can reach £30,000 per property.
Our Multi-EPC from £60 includes free MEES compliance advice, so you will know exactly where your property stands and what, if anything, needs to improve. For landlords with multiple properties in Lambeth, we offer portfolio pricing on request.
How long does an EPC last?
An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. If your property already has a valid EPC on the national register, you may not need a new one unless you have made significant energy improvements or the existing certificate has expired. We can check the register for you before booking.
Why choose a local Lambeth EPC assessor?
Using a local ABBE-accredited assessor means faster scheduling, local knowledge of Lambeth's housing types, and direct communication rather than a call centre. We cover the whole borough, including Brixton, Stockwell, Clapham, Streatham, Herne Hill, Tulse Hill, West Norwood, and surrounding areas.
Certificates are typically issued within 24 hours of the visit and are immediately available on the national EPC register for tenants, estate agents, and mortgage lenders.
